BREAKING: In a stunning admission, one of the most conservative Senators, Senator Mitch McConnell, admitted it was Donald Trump who sabotaged the toughest border security legislation proposed in decades. Retweet to make sure every American sees this.

Women are still waiting for equal opportunities and equal pay.
For equality under the law.
For their work to be valued and their opinions to count.
Gender equality is not a favour to women. It is fundamental to ensuring a better future for all.

After being in the startup scene for ~4 years, I wanted to share my personal observations/experiences on why I think the number of female founders getting funded is so low. (It’s still 2% - it didn’t change!)
Again, this is based off of what I’ve seen and what has happened to us – at San Francisco, CA

Instead of claiming “Dems in Disarray” (which is absurd) as they try to pass historic legislation to help Americans, let’s point out instead that ALL Republicans are united against voting rights, against improving infrastructure, against paying our debts, and against democracy.

It has been my honour to serve women and girls around the world who envision a bright, equal future with @UN_Women. On my last day as Executive Director, I encourage you all to keep going. Keep persisting despite adversity. Gender equality is possible.

I am deeply concerned by accounts of human rights violations against the women and girls of Afghanistan who fear a return to the darkest days.
They are looking to the international community for support.
We must not let them down.

Ida B. Wells, born #OnThisDay in 1862, was a groundbreaking journalist and activist who believed in the power of the truth to galvanize people to unite for change.
Her courageous resistance continues to inspire us all. #HERstory
